How the Alaska Indians DistiN q vita In
Gus Drink from Molasses.

Gus Drink from Molasses.
During q course of years. commenc.
ing with the Russian occupation ct the
country, before the cession of the prov
inces to the United States, and subse-
quent to that time, men of our country
found a lucrative business in the sale
of sugar and molasses to the Alaska In
dians. From these two substances they
make drink which they call hooche-
moo, and it is just little worse than
the lowest grade of Hester street whis-
ky. In fact. it is almost pure alcohol.
slightly discOlored. The Indians man.
ufacture it for their own consumption.
and for the use of their friends. but it
is rarely sold by them to one another.
They make sort of a mash from mo-
lasses and dirty brown sugar. This
they put into large caldron over \
slow fire. Some of them have consid-
cradle mechanical ingenuity and they
make crude sort of Il still out of tin.
The pieces are cut out for the worm,
one Indian holds them in place. while
another with bar of solder and hot
iron fastens them together. They
patch on piece after piece until they
have completed luIe sort of worm.
and then their still is ready. They un-
derstand the process of the condensa-
ton of the vapor in the worm and know
how to get the distillation ont of it.
Then they double and triple distill this
product. and in the end have liquor
that you or would not dare to drink,
unless we wanted at once to experience
all the horrors of delirium tremens.
The stuff is simply terrific in its power.
When the process of manufacture is
completed they store it away in bottles
for use. The hOochenoO is distilled
only in the most inaccessible parts If
Alaska, as the sale of large quantities
of sugar or molasses in the more thick
ly settled portions of the country is
prohibited. and Indians who aye known
to possess quantities O: either commod-
ity are closely watched Brook Ign

FEALTY TO HOME.
A Feeling Which Dwells In the Heart ot
Almost Every Human Being.

"A IcebuS Nntcn DwellS IN tne Heart OF
Almost Every Human Being.
A singular story of homesickness is
told in book. long since published.
containing "reminiscences of an o&d
town in Delaware. The facts of the
incident are well authenticated.
A young man, the son of small
planter. who had always lived at home.
was ill with consumption, and was
urged by his physicians to visit the
West Indies. The lad opposed the
voyage vehemently. insisting that the
only happiness left to him was to re.
main during his few days of life in the
home which was SO dear to him. But
his friends. anxious to try this last re-
source, overruled him. He was taken
to Cuba. and while there grew worse
so rapidly that at his urgent entreaty
he was carried on board sailing res
sci and started for home. He -ank
slowly, and though he was willing to-
die he prayed increasingly that Col
would spare him until he reached home.
''Only to see the old room again.
with the fire burning on the hearth, and
to hear mother speak to ME once mOrew
he cried.
The ship reached the capes outside OF
Delaware Bay, and there encountered
storm. In the midst of the terror and
confusion, it was thought by his friends
tnat the boy died. Thirty-six hours
after his supposed death, the vessel
made port, and his body was rakeD
home, and laid on the bed in the old
room. A fire burned on the hearth,
and his mother bent over him. As she
sobbed out his name. the color came
to his face, his eyes opened and he
whispered: 'Home"'
"He lived until the next day." says
the old chronicles "Many persons now
living can testify of this miraculous an.
swer to prayer. A cataleptic trance.
induced by terror during the storm, vii!
explain the miracle"
An even more touching story was
that of one of the Ponca Indians, civ.
ilized tribe, who by an order from the
Indian Department.. in direct violation
of a treaty. were suddenly driven from
the farms which had belonged to them
and their fathers. to the distant Indian
Territory, country unknown to them.
One-third of their number died in the
malarious district to which they were
driven. Among them was boy. who
asked his mother in case she ever re-
turned to take him back and bury him
Sat home" After a long agitation in
the public press. an inquiry by Con-
gress into the circumstances of the
transfer. and reference to the matter
in the Presidents message, it was de-
termined to right the wrong. and the
remnant of the tribe at last started to
find their way back to Dakota. The
old mother took the bones of her boy
with her. carried them two thousand i,
miles. and buried them at last in the |
old home so dear to him. The history |!
of civilized races has few records of |
loyal fealty to home so tragic and pa
thetic as this.-Youth's Companion.

At another time we were frightened

The stock market to-day was moderately
active, though speculation was narrow as usual
of late, few stocks monopolizing all interest as
well as business. 1t was somewhat feverish and
weak, however, throughout. The general feel
ing in the morning was less bearish and London
was buyer of its specialties, and supporting or
ders appeared in most of the specialties. A
number of adverse influences were soon brought
to bear, however. The one that did the most
harm was that the dividend on the Richmond
and West Point preferred would be passed. and
this, supplemented by persistent attacks upon
the stock, made it a specially weak spot of the
market. The Chicago party were very active
in bringing about the decline, but old bears and
room traders were prominent in hammering the
list. Western Union was sold down on rumors
of trouble In the Anglo-Western Union cable
pool and sharp drives were made against
Union Pacific. Reading and Lackawanna. The
only strong stock on the list was Canadian
Pacific which was purchased heavily by for
egners. The opening was firm at advances ex-
tending to ~ per cent, but the advantage was
not maintained, prices sagging off slowly, while
business became extremely dull. Richmond
and West Point became the special point of at
tack late in the day, when the market showed
much more animation, and the decline became
more general. There was some support given
the list late in the day. when the decline was
checked though there was no recovery, and the
close was quiet but heavy at or near the lowest
prices reached. The business OF the day
